You got into this all excited. No one forced you. It’s your baby and you’re committed. You’re also swamped, slogging thru mud, surrounded by choices that all look the same. You’re in no-man’s land – there’s no going back yet you can’t see how you’ll ever get to the end.
Pixar is making Toy Story and they’re way into it when they realize the story isn’t good enough. They stop. Pay people for five months to do nothing until they get it right. Every project since then they have the same crisis (but they stop paying people for doing nothing). Pixar is now on hit number ten in-a-row.
Apple has been working years developing the iPhone when Steve Jobs says he doesn’t like it. It’s not something people are going to love. Everybody goes back to work to make it love-able. Is it worth it?
David is supposed to be king but it ain’t happening. Just the opposite – the current king is trying to kill him. It’s been ten years. David gives up and deserts over to Israel’s enemy to get away from Saul but even Israel’s enemy doesn’t accept him and kicks him out. Arriving home with his band of brothers, David discovers all their families have been kidnapped. Even his best friends are now turning on him. But “David found strength in the Lord his God” and within days their families are safe and David is king.
So you’re in good company. It’s no guarantee of the results, but you’re probably going to have a doozy of a story.
